Gary Johnson in politics:
Gary Johnson is one of the most popular presidential candidates for the United States this year. He is the candidate of the Libertarian National Convention and has been the Republican Governor of New Mexico twice. Having set up a construction company in the year 1976, which has been growing ever since and has turned into a multi-million enterprise, he is best known for his libertarian-minded conservativeness and for his noticeable activity in libertarian causes which include marijuana legalization. He has strong views about a variety of political issues that he openly addresses the public with.
Johnson believes that the US is nearing an economic collapse similar to that experienced by Russia in 1998. Balancing the budget is the solution posed by him. He advocates cutting the government spending, cutting taxes and reducing the role played by the federal government in the economy. The budget must be balanced by cutting down on defense and entitlement. Johnson opposes TARP and wishes to put an end to companies like Fannie Mae. Also, he wishes to eliminate the present tax system and replace it with a national sales tax called FairTax.
Gary Johnson is in support of the state and religion. He wants to legalize and regulate prostitution to make it safer. He strongly is in support of the policies advocated by the Equal Rights Amendment. Also, Johnson believes that it is a woman’s right to select on abortion until the fetus is viable. The decision must be left in the hands of the mother. He condemns homosexual marriage, tagging it as ‘offensive’. Johnson is a proponent of the death penalty and thinks that it is flawed as a public policy. In his view, a large portion of crimes are related to drugs and legalizing drugs will solve half of these crimes. Violence against government employees is not tolerated by him at any cost. Marijuana is thought to be safer than alcohol by him and he wishes to legalize it, along with the provision of drugs like methadone and heroin at local stores.
Johnson is a strong believer in education but wishes to keep out involvement of the federal government. Student loans are to be abolished, along with Departments of Education and HUD. Educational funds must be under the control of those using them. As far as energy consumption is concerned, Johnson advocates alternative energy and nuclear power. He refuses to accept cap-and-trade and wishes to provide incentives by the federation for energy.
With his intellectual views and fresh ideas, Gary Johnson holds quite a good chance. His reforms will transform the country quite significantly. There is much to look forward in his political policies indeed.
